Income Tax Department has rolled out the new Annual Information Statement (AIS)
on the Compliance Portal which provides a comprehensive view of information to a
taxpayer with a facility to capture online feedback.
WHAT IS ANNUAL INFORMATION STATEMENT (AIS) ?
The new AIS includes additional information relating to interest, dividend, securities
transactions, mutual fund transactions, foreign remittance information etc. The reported
information has been processed to remove duplicate information. Taxpayers will be able to
download AIS information in PDF, JSON, CSV formats. The display of Form 26AS on
TRACES portal will also continue in parallel till the new AIS is validated and completely
operational.
HOW TO MAKE CORRECTION IN AIS ?
1. If the taxpayer feels that the information is incorrect, relates to other person/year,
duplicate etc., a facility has been provided to submit online feedback.
2. An AIS Utility has also been
provided for taxpayers to view AIS and upload feedback in offline manner.
WHAT IS TAXPAYER INFORMATION SUMMARY (TIS) ?
TIS shows the processed value (i.e. the value generated after deduplication of information
based on pre-defined rules) and derived value (i.e. the value derived after considering the
taxpayer feedback and processed value). If the taxpayer submits feedback on AIS, the
derived information in TIS will be automatically updated in real time. The derived
information in TIS will be used for pre-filling of Return.
SOME IMPORTANT POINTS:
1. Annual Information Statement (AIS) includes
information presently available with the Income Tax Department. There may be other
transactions relating to the taxpayer which are not presently displayed in AIS. Taxpayers should check all related information and report
complete and accurate information in the Income Tax Return.
2. In case there is a variation between the TDS/TCS information or the details of tax
paid as displayed in Form26AS on TRACES portal and the TDS/TCS information or the
information relating to tax payment as displayed in AIS on Compliance Portal, the
taxpayer may rely on the information displayed on TRACES portal for the purpose of filing
of ITR and for other tax compliance purposes. |
